The worst kept secret this trade season is that the New York Yankees are interested in adding an arm to the rotation.
Luis Severino is a fine ace, and both Masahiro Tanaka and C.C. Sabathia can hold their own. However, inconsistency from Sonny Gray and the back end leave the Bronx Bombers wanting. The AL East race is also about to reach fever pitch, so GM Brian Cashman would be wise to beef up the rotation via a trade.
There’s just one problem. The market for starting pitching this summer is, in a word, weak.
